Stainless vs Brass Screens: Taste, Safety, and Lifespan | Canu Essentials

Small parts carry big consequences. Mesh choice sets taste, airflow, and how often you replace things.

Stainless: neutral and durable
Food-grade stainless keeps shape at heat, resists corrosion, and keeps taste neutral. You rinse, dry, and reuse. That’s why our Stainless mesh screen is the go-to for Spark at Canu Essentials.

Brass: soft and short-lived
Brass domes bend, fray, and can taste metallic when they age. If you like a dome, at least swap often.

Fit matters
A flat Stainless disc sits cleanly at the base and won’t ride up when you tamp. If airflow tightens, it’s time to rinse or rotate in a fresh mesh.
